Cascading Style Sheets - One Day Introduction Training Course

Training Provided by XChange Training UK CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) arrived in 1996. CSS is a significant breakthrough in web design allowing designers more control over the style and layout of their web pages than can be achieved using basic HTML. You can define a style for each HTML tag and apply it to individual web pages (embedded styles), localised parts of your page (inline style) or for the entire site itself (external style sheets). With the latter, simple modifications to your style result in those changes globally updating all pages linked to your style sheet. CSS was updated in 1998 and continues to be a work in progress. Who is this course for? This hands-on course is designed for users who currently use HTML or have attended an HTML introduction course. The course will take users to the next level of web design allowing them to create professional looking web sites for their corporate intranet or Internet site. New users should be familiar HTML, the operating system they use and have good solid understanding of the world wide web.
